GVM on my zuk is 1040kg... its SPOA on lux leaves and 31's with vit 1.6 engine... plus i have full stereo system inside and bucket seats which are slightly heavier than stock.
Its pretty safe to assume the LWB would weigh less than 1000kg.

My 86 has a tare of 970 (or 980) and GVM 1390.
I am about to strip it to fit lux diffs and had the engineer out last week and we discussed upgrading the GVM to allow for the extra weight of the mods as we are already at the limit.
He said it can be done as (in simple terms) its based on driveline, suspension, and chassis, in my case everything is or will be upgraded except the chassis so when I have the chassis mocked up and tack welded for the diffs and other mods in store he will come out and we will sort out a way to strengthen the chassis to accommodate a higher GVM and it will be nice to strengthen the soft rails as well.

Its in custom 4wd action No5 I Am about to start new mods.
Mart the figures are stock
(Edit) I just checked and my original papers when I got the car state the tare is 910 and the GVM is blank but the Aggregate weight is 1460
However on my engineers report the GVM is listed as 1390, My papers state the tare is 1100 (grossly under quoted
) and a GVM of 1390. My engineer is down the line and quite firm, he restricted the rear passengers (3) to 38 KG to keep the car with passengers under the GVM and never mentioned an option of raising it. As we are at the limit now adding lux diffs will throw it over and he has said he will raise it only enough required to keep it legal, although I will be asking for a bit more.
